In the human intestine, dozens of different bacteria exist simultaneously. This "cohabitation" ensures the optimal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. As a result of the action of pathogenic factors, the ratio of different types of bacteria is violated (flora changes), which causes disruption of the intestines. In such cases, they talk about dysbacteriosis, which can be manifested in the appearance of constipation, accumulation of gases, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc.
There are drugs aimed at normalizing the intestinal microflora, that is, at restoring the correct ratio of microorganisms, and as a result of this, the manifestations of dysbiosis disappear. One of such regulators of intestinal microflora is the drug "Linex".
An abstract is in each package; it contains information on the composition of the drug, pharmacological actions, on the characteristics of the use of the drug, etc.
